Zaira Wasim found national fame at 16 through her role in ‘Dangal’, which earned her the National Film Award for Best Supporting Actress. She later received acclaim for ‘Secret Superstar’ Despite early success, Zaira chose to step away from the industry, making her announcement public in 2019.

In her 2019 statement, Zaira explained her departure was motivated by religious beliefs. She wrote, “This field indeed brought a lot of love, support, and appreciation my way, but what it also did was lead me to a path of ignorance, as I silently and unconsciously transitioned out of imaan.” She also noted that the industry “interfered with her relationship with religion,” influencing her decision to leave acting.

Since leaving Bollywood, Zaira has kept a low profile, primarily using social media to share messages about faith. Her wedding announcement comes after years without major personal updates and has been celebrated by fans and followers.

The response to Zaira’s announcement has been largely positive, with many offering congratulations on her new chapter. The understated nature of her post and her decision to share this milestone have resonated with her audience.

Zaira’s caption, “Qubool hai x3.”, echoes the traditional words spoken during a Muslim marriage ceremony, signifying acceptance. The repetition and simplicity of the phrase have been noted by many observers, reflecting the sincerity of the moment.
